Illinois Supreme Court April 18, 1907 (Johnson v. Preston)

lead-opinion

Mr. Justice Vickers

delivered the opinion of the court:

First—Appellants contend that clauses 5 and are void because they violate the rule against perpetuities. In our consideration of this question we will first consider it with reference to the estate or interest devised to the executor. The sections of the will in question need not be considered separately.
